Avenue Road, Freshwater, Isle of Wight

An exciting opportunity has arisen to purchase both an immaculate family home and a spacious commercial outlet. Ideally situated in the heart of Freshwater village centre, this sale provides an opportunity to budding entrepreneurs, alongside a superb residential dwelling.

The stunning, three-bedroom home that is attached to the shop has benefited from constant modernisation over the years, which most recently includes a new kitchen and ground floor extension. The home benefits from its own external access, separate from the shop, which opens into the brand new, absolutely fabulous sitting room, with stunning vaulted ceiling, skylights bathing it in light and beautiful bifold doors overlooking the garden. Equally impressive is the adjacent contemporary kitchen – another new addition that is simply spectacular, with gorgeous, white, high gloss units and a huge, fabulous island as the focal point, all bathed in light from more skylights. There’s ample space for a dining area at one end, with a pretty feature fireplace making it a delightful setting for dining. Conveniently there’s a W.C. on the ground floor also. To the first floor are three larger than average double bedrooms, with the principal being exceptionally large on account of it formerly being two bedrooms. The door from its previous incarnation still remains, offering the flexibility to create a fourth bedroom. The second bedroom is also a great size with a pretty, original fireplace that is fully operational, and it currently has an alcove that would lend itself well to becoming an ensuite, dressing room or a walk-in wardrobe. The third double bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows and another delightful, original working fireplace giving it a cosy character feel. For a truly impressive bathroom then look no further than this stunning, spacious, modern addition, with luxurious freestanding bathtub as a focal point, plus a double shower enclosure, his and hers wash basins and electric underfloor heating. There is also space in here for utilities.

Outside to the rear there is further living space to be enjoyed with the recently installed wooden cabin, that is fully insulated and benefits from electricity and is currently being used as a home office and gym. There is also a garage with electricity plus driveway parking for two vehicles. And there is still space for a tiered garden, with the sitting room bifold doors opening onto a delightful patio area with steps leading up to the main garden

What the Owner says:

We brought this property thirty-five years ago and we have run our business and enjoyed our wonderful home, following extensive works. Freshwater is a great place to live and work, benefiting from some of the islands best and most unspoilt countryside on the one hand but on the other it enjoys all the conveniences of being in small town. We have loved living in this village, but it’s time for another family to enjoy what this home and the commercial outlet has to offer.
